Wrist flag device

Abstract

A flag connected to a wristband or similar device by a length of material. The wristband and the length of material permit a spectator to throw the flag in a direction away from the spectator without fear of it being lost. The length of material permits the spectator to easily retrieve the flag after it is thrown. The ability to throw the flag increases its visibility and can be used to indicate to a game official a missed infraction. The length of material also allows the spectator to spin the flag around to show the spectator's admiration for the team or game. The flag and length of material are storable in a pocket attached to the wristband.
